Lipid intermediate in the synthesis of the linkage unit that joins teichoic acid to peptidoglycan in Bacillus subtilis.
Membranes from Bacillus subtilis W23 synthesized a lipid precursor of the linkage unit that attaches teichoic acid to the cell wall. It contained glycerophosphoryl-N-acetylglucosamine, linked through an acid-labile bond to a lipid.
